This Damn Love

Part-45: A little crack?

"Kim Seokjin-ssi, The CEO's office- right now."

Seokjin sighs as nervousness pulling into his stomach. It's been only 5 minutes into his job and the CEO has already called him into his office. Not a good sign.

After the Annual party became a huge success, Lady Hyuna sent him his employment agreement and he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the mentioned salary. Surely the amount he was earning in the cafe was not at all close to what he is going to earn in the company.

Though working in a corporation is way more hectic and mentally pressuring, he is willing to take the challenge.

It's been awhile since his eomma is away from home with his uncle and aunt but no such noticeable changes have been reported as of now which is concerning. She constantly asks for her husband. On top of that, she is still sensitive to loud noises. It's hard to say what noise can trigger her mentally.

Moreover, Moon is growing up and in a city like Seoul, Jin can't possibly provide for everyone with a cafe wage.

Jin looks at the missed call settled upon his phone screen. He hasn't been able to talk with Taehyung this morning so he decided to call him after returning from CEO's office.

After making sure he looks presentable in his white button up shirt and black slacks, he walks to the CEO's office. Though officially the title belongs to Lady Hyuna, her brother Gyu is the one who occupies the chair to work on behalf of her.

Jin is a little skeptical of the man from day one. He hasn't forgotten how his uncle was humiliated by this said person hence it's hard for him to show respect to the man even if he is in the unofficial CEO. Yet he decided to gulp his anger down and stay silent in order not to indulge in any argument and lose his job.

He was prepared to face the man hence when a different face welcomed him inside the room, he was puzzled.

"Kim Seokjin-ssi, please take a seat." Leaving his chair, Namjoon walks towards Jin who stands dumbfounded in the middle of the room.

"Umm- Namjoon-ssi, y-you-" Jin looks around nervously, not knowing what Namjoon is doing here instead of Gyu. Being in the same room with Namjoon gives him goosebumps.

"Please we are alone here, so you can call me Joon." Namjoon flashes his dimple smile and gestures to Seokjin to take a seat.

Though sceptical, Jin hesitantly takes the couch placed in the corner and Namjoon settles right beside him. Close enough to let their knees touch. Not feeling comfortable with the proximity, Jin backs away a bit.

Namjoon realised what Jin just did but decides not to point it out. He has figured Jin is different than any other love interest he has ever entertained. Heck it is the first time he feels attracted to a man. And blame the fate, it's the same man his so called brother Kim Taehyung is in love with.

"You look surprised for some reason. I won't eat you, so relax." Namjoon offers Jin a glass of water but Jin politely declines with a soft shake of head.

"Are you usually this silent or there's something wrong? You are physically present here but mentally somewhere else." Namjoon is not a man of patience but for the beauty in front of him, he is even willing to bet his life.

The way Jin keeps fidgeting his fingers, his breathing a bit labour, eyes constantly glancing towards the door may be wishing for Gyu to show up. Namjoon smirks at the realisation. Is Jin affected by his presence?

Damn those plump lips he is biting so hard.

When Jin realised Namjoon has been constantly staring at his face, specifically his lips, he coughs his nervousness away while sitting straight and uptight. "There's nothing wrong. I was just wondering why I was called here for? I had an impression Mr. Gyu-"
